Focus on the path not the destination. These are particularly important things for people like me who can spend to much thinking about the future rather than living in the present.

The most difficult thing in investing these days is trying not to listen to the marketing crap and stick to basics. Built a strong asset allocation, invest regularly in that asset allocation, and don't try to guess what the future is going to hold. “As for the future, your task is not to foresee it, but to enable it.” - Antoine de Saint-Exupery I agree with Dean – averaging in helps with the ups and downs.

I started averaging into banks sometime last year. Fortunately I was soon shown the folly of my ways and instead of flushing away 10% of my capital I only lost 1%. I started averaging into ULPIX last October, only to soon after discover the sting in the ultra bull tail. Averaging in gives you time to critically reassess what you're doing, which is essential for me. Going all in requires a certitude that I seldom have and often fosters a need to be right, which is a costly need indeed.
